A huge well done to our osteopath, Tom, who recently ran a half marathon in an incredible 1 hour 29 minutes - a new personal best! 🏃‍♂️👏

And even aside from being a PB, a sub-1:30 half marathon is a pretty incredible effort for anyone!

As an osteopath, Tom understands that running well isn’t just about fitness. It’s about how your whole body moves, how you manage load and recovery between sessions and listening to those little niggles before they become bigger problems. It’s something Tom works with everyday in the clinic and is great to see him putting that knowledge into practice with his own running.

We’re all very proud of him. Although we’re sure he’ll be the first to tell you it wasn’t just good osteopathy that got him across the finish line!

Humans have a total of 24 ribs, set out in 12 pairs. The ribs form a protective cage around our vital organs, including the heart, lungs and liver. The ribs are also an important part of our breathing. There are three main types of ribs:

True ribs - these attach directly to the chest bone (aka sternum)
False ribs - these attach indirectly to the chest bone via pieces of cartilage at the front of the rib cage
Floating ribs - these literally ‘float’ at the back of our bodies and have no extension to the front.

And breathe…. Now who knew this fact already?

Recently two of our osteopaths Kimberley and Amber headed off to Osaka. Known as “The Kitchen of Japan”, both of our osteopaths expanded their taste buds and accepted the Kuidaore culture (“eat until you drop”) in the heart of Dontonbori, trying sensational foods like takoyaki and okonomiyaki.

But the foodie trip wasn’t the sole purpose of their adventures (or so they say). Kimberley and Amber went to a conference to expand their osteopathic knowledge and treatment skills for treating the head, neck and jaw. Both Kimberley and Amber have a strong interest in treating these areas and recognising the important connection between the jaw, neck and the rest of the body. By expanding their knowledge in this area, they can continue to provide a more holistic osteopathic approach to your care.

The course they completed will help if you experience any of the following symptoms:

- Headaches or migraines
- Neck pain, stiffness or reduced movement
- Jaw pain, tension or clicking
- Shoulder and upper back tension
- Pain or discomfort following an injury
- Postural related aches or discomfort
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching

Love skiing? Have you heard of Skier’s thumb? Commonly seen in skiers, as well as rugby, netball and basketball players, it happens when the thumb is forced outwards beyond the limit of its movement range. The ligaments that hold the joint together at the base of the thumb sprain or tear leading to pain, swelling, and loss of function of the thumb which can affect the ability to use the hand in everyday tasks.

Sprained your thumb recently? Never leave it to chance, come and see us today. We’ll be sure to give you the thumbs up when it’s safe to return to the slopes! 👍🏼

Protein j***y? When we eat protein, our body breaks it down into small pieces called ‘amino acids’. These are the building blocks of life! The body uses them to make protein for growth and repair, as well as many other functions. Our bodies produce some of these amino acids (known as ‘non-essential amino acids’), but not all of them. We must get these ‘essential’ amino acids from the food we eat.�

Our practitioner Maddy welcomed her second baby earlier this year. This time around she felt much more familiar with the changes her body was going through during pregnancy, birth and recovery. But that didn’t mean her body didn’t need support along the way, especially with a toddler!

During pregnancy, your body produces a hormone called relaxin which helps soften the ligaments around the pelvis, hips and joints. This allows your body to adapt as your baby grows while also helping prepare the pelvis and cervix for birth.

As your body changes throughout pregnancy, it’s common to experience discomfort or changes around the lower back, hips and pelvis.

Pregnancy, birth and life with a newborn bring big changes to your body. From feeding and lifting to bending and carrying, the right support can help ease discomfort, improve movement and support recovery.

If you experience any of the following, Osteopathic care may help you during your journey into motherhood:

- Lower back, hip or pelvic pain
- Muscle tightness or tension
- Neck and shoulder discomfort from feeding or carrying
- Postural changes or stiffness
- Feeling sore or restricted after birth
- Difficulty returning to your usual movements and activities
- Discomfort when bending, lifting or getting up and down
- General aches and pains as your body adjust to motherhood

We understand that every pregnancy, birth and recovery is different. Therefore the individualised care we provide can help you feel more comfortable, confident and supported through the transition into motherhood.

Muscle fact: The SCM is a muscle that runs from the base of your skull, down the side of the neck and attaches to the chest and collar bones. It stands for:

Sterno - sternum or chest bone
Cleido - clavicle or collar bone
Mastoid - a bony bump on the base of the skull

This muscle helps to bend the neck sideways and forwards as well as rotate the head. It is also the main muscle involved with the condition ‘torticollis’.

Osteochondritis Dissecans or OCD is a joint condition that mainly affects children and adolescents. Many of the bones in our body are covered at the ends by smooth cartilage. Sometimes cracks in the cartilage and underlying bone cause fragments of cartilage to flap around or break off inside the joint. This can lead to inflammation, pain and locking when the joint is used.

If your child has these symptoms, book an appointment here at Inform Osteopathy ph 5428 3113 or online at gisborneosteo.com.au and get checked today.

CONCUSSION… Did you know that you don’t even need to hit your head to get a concussion? Having your head thrown forwards and backwards quickly during a whiplash injury is a common cause of concussion that doesn’t result from a physical blow to the head. Symptoms include:

Headache
Confusion
Nausea and vomiting
Loss of balance or consciousness
Lack of concentration
Plus many more…

And symptoms don’t always show up right away! Always get checked after head and whiplash-type injuries. Who has had a concussion before?
